System and method for transparent communication over a wireless communication network

Abstract

Systems and methods for transparent communications over a wireless network between a control station and a remote device are disclosed. A wireless module is communicatively coupled with the remote device and configured for wireless communications with the control station. Communications from the control station to the remote device are sent by the control station to the wireless module using a simple modem application reliable transfer ('SMART') protocol that enables the wireless module to receive the communication from the control station via a wireless network service such as the short message service ('SMS') and then deliver the communication to the remote device via an interface as if the communication was sent directly to the remote device from the control station via the interface. In turn, communications from the remote device to the control station are sent by the remote device to the wireless module using the SMART protocol that enables the wireless module to deliver the communication from the remote device to the control station using a wireless network service, such as SMS, that the remote device is incapable of using.
